X4: Master of the Desert Nomads - OOC

[Leif]

I'm playing one right now in Strahd's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil game. Straight 5th level fighter. Believe me, I looked and looked and looked for something else to do for 5th level, but nothing fit the concept of where I was going with the PC except fighter. So I do know how it feels. LOL.

Yeah, but that's only ONE. I want someday to reach a point where ALL of your characters are plain-Jane 5th level fighters!

Preferably Human fighters, that way you get 3 feats at lvl 1

THREE FEETS? They're all DEFORMED!! :O

Well, my 5th level fighter in Strahd's game is actually a dwarf...but let me tell you, he is a monster in combat. Poor goblins and hobgoblins. LOL.

What sort of weapon does he use? Is he a battleaxe kind of a guy?

Greatsword+1, named Anrak (Foehammer in dwarven). I just tried to get it upgrade to say shocking or such, but we didn't have enough cash.

"Foehammer"... that rings a bell. Wasnt' that the translation of either Glamdring or Ocrist from The Hobbitt?

And, lucky you, Dwarves are just barely big enough to use a size M Greatsword and get the big ol' damage, aren't they?

Yes, more of less. Elrond refers to Glamdring as "Foe-hammer that the king of Gondolin once wore." Of course, the goblins simply call it "Beater."

Hey, they are size M creatures regardless of height, and a greatsword is a size M weapon.

Of course, my half-giant psychic warrior Orinar in Mark Chance's game wields a size L greatsword, even though he is still only size M. 3d6 isn't bad base damage for a level 2 character.

Ahh, yes! And they called Ocrist, carried by Thorin Oakenshield in the book if memory serves, "Biter." It's all coming back to me now.
